Chapter 551 - CEO Chu, Come Yourself (1/2)
”Heh… I'm not planning on doing anything?” It was that blood-curdling voice again. Listening to it made people's hair stand—that eerily sharp voice.
”I can give you as much money as you want, but let me warn you. Don't you dare touch a single strand of my daughter's hair.” Chu Lui's body was extremely stiff; the muscles in his body had all tensed up.
”I won't tell you my motive yet. But first, I want you to personally come here alone and exchange your life for your daughter's life. Your daughter sure is beautiful. If you dare to inform the police, I'll chop off your daughter's hand; and if that happens, I'm sure she would be in a lot of pain.”
Chu Lui's heart skipped a beat as he heard Rainy's endless crying from within the phone, calling for her mother.
”I'll give you whatever you want; just don't hurt my daughter. Tell me the address. I'll head over right away,” Chu Lui frantically replied. He couldn't sit still anymore. His daughter was crying; she was crying.
”Heh, it seems like the cold and ruthless CEO Chu is actually an extremely loving father. What a rare sight.” The man's voice had become eerier. ”Anyway, come to the warehouse next to the bus stop. Remember, come alone. If you bring somebody with you, I won't be so nice to your daughter. This child's extremely small. If I just slightly squeeze her bones, they'll shatter.”
The man laughed maniacally, and then with a 'beep', he had ended the call. After a long time, Chu Lui finally put down the phone from his ear and placed it back in his pocket. He glanced carefully at his parents and then at Xia Ruoxin. That person's target was evidently not Rainy but him. He clearly understood that going there alone would be extremely dangerous; however, right now, all he had in mind was Rainy's safety. With every minute that passed, the amount of danger Rainy faced would increase.
”Don't worry. I'll bring Rainy back to you.” He walked to Xia Ruoxin's side, and his hands clenched into fists. Actually, he really wanted to touch her face… but he couldn't.
Xia Ruoxin's lips moved slightly, seemingly able to feel the despair in Chu Lui's eyes.
”Are you worried about me?” Chu Lui's face suddenly broke into a smile, dyeing his cold and tough features with a shade of warmth. This man was actually not as coldhearted as people imagined. His heart was also unexpectedly soft. In front of the person he loved and cared about, he was no longer that affluent man on the market. Instead, he was simply an ordinary man with feelings and emotions, with flesh and blood.
Xia Ruoxin lifted her eyelids, her red lips moving slightly. She didn't speak, but her eyes—the endless droplets of tears that flashed across her eyes told him everything.
”Ruoxin, this is enough for me. I'll never be able to repay you for the things I owe you. That's why, don't worry. I won't steal your Rainy. Of course, I wouldn't let anybody or any danger steal her away, too.”
After he finished speaking, he strode out of the room.
”Cousin, where are you going?” Du Jingtang hastily chased after him. Why was he leaving so suddenly without saying anything? What was he going to do?
”I'm going to go save my daughter.” Chu Lui didn't stop. No matter how dangerous it was going to be—Rainy, he was definitely going to save her.
